The past decade has revealed the diversity and ubiquity of archaea in nature, with a growing
number of studies highlighting their importance in ecology, biotechnology and even human …

Recent characterization of the obligate episymbiont Saccharibacteria (TM7) belonging to the
candidate phyla radiation (CPR) has expanded the extent of microbial diversity. However …

Organisms representing diverse subgroupings of the Domain Archaea are known to
possess unusual surface structures. These can include ones unique to Archaea such as …

The uptake of fluorescently labeled ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (2 nm) by Gram‐negative
Escherichia coli bacteria occurs within 1–3 hours. This was demonstrated by confocal laser …

In most bacteria, cell division depends on the tubulin homolog FtsZ and other proteins, such
as SepF, that form a complex termed the divisome. Cell division also depends on FtsZ in …

The swimming behavior of Bacteria has been studied extensively, at least for some species
like Escherichia coli. In contrast, almost no data have been published for Archaea on this …

In recent years, fluorescence microscopy techniques for the localization and tracking of
single molecules in living cells have become well-established and are indispensable tools …

Since the identification of the archaeal domain in the mid-1970s, we have collected a great
deal of metagenomic, biochemical, and structural information from archaeal species …

Hyperthermophiles are microorganisms that thrive in extremely hot environments with
temperatures near and even above 100° C. They are the most deeply rooted …

The discovery of the archaeal domain of life is tightly connected to an in-depth analysis of
the prokaryotic RNA world. In addition to Carl Woese's approach to use the sequence of the …
